Bio
Oana Stroe
Leah is one of the brightest, most ambitious and hard-working people I've had the pleasure to work with. She's very good at making sense of complex topics and explaining them in an accessible manner. This is particularly true for anything to do with biology, the life sciences and healthcare. I've got no doubt Leah can achieve pretty much anything she sets her mind to. All this, alongside her unique sense of humour, cheery personality and unusual food taste, make Leah an excellent colleague.
